The flying machine and other creations

We've been doing a lot of projects lately. We build a flying machine for Ro's tricycle, so he could be a helicopter. We've built submarines and pirate ships. We built an igloo out of sugar cubes and made a penguin family to live in it. We're currently in the process of making a paper mache rocket.

Ro also built his own cable car system in his room. We built one with yarn and toilet paper tubes in the yard about six months ago when it was warm and he suddenly decided to reproduce it in his room. I was surprised because he hasn't really talked about it or anything.

He's also really keen on waterwheels at the moment. He dug a canal in the dirt in the front yard and dragged our hose reel out to be the waterwheel. He's been drawing "instructions" for building waterwheels as well.
